Organic electro-luminescence device and method for fabricating same

摘要

An organic EL device including a substrate (200), at least one organic thin-film layer (203) overlying the main surface, and a pair of electrodes (201, 204) sandwiching therebetween the organic thin-film layer (203), at least one of the electrodes (201, 204) being a metallic electrode, the organic thin film layer (203) defining a recombination electroluminescence region which is apart from the metallic electrode by at least 100 nm and has a periodic structure. In the organic EL device of the present invention, the emitted light is efficiently taken out by increasing the distance between the EL light-emitting region and the metal electrode for separating the light-emitting location from the metal electrode.
